Why? It could easily be optional by the way.

I would be ok with the recording as long as they don’t make my sign the form allowing it to be used as part of some public campaign.

I'm not comfortable with the idea of being recorded, especially when I'm already under the pressure of an interview. I don't know how they'll use my video, if it will be used in training, leaked, etc. I might never see that company again, but they could use my video forever without me knowing.

There is mostly no such things as "optional" in those sorts of situations. It's like "Here's a take home project. It's purely optional but it would give us a better sense of what you can do."

In other words, maybe if you utterly wow us in-person you'll get in anyway. But probably not.

I was offered an interview which would be recording myself to get graded by AI software: https://startupleague.online/blog/vempathy-tech-scalable-use...

If I thought my interview was being recorded, I'd assume it was being used for this internally. If given the option to have it recorded, I'd assume that I'd get "minus points" for declining.

This is very unfortunate, because I love your idea. I'd just need stronger legal protections to ensure that I wasn't perpetuating part of a dystopia.
